Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Holiday Peacock Plant is a stunning new hybrid with raspberry-red flowers that bloom continuously once the plant reaches 18" tall. These blossoms are more beautiful than any other Calathea on the market today. The eye-catching foliage has a white-feathered pattern on the mid-veins and the outside edges of the leaves. The backside of the leaves are purple. Grow in the shade outside your house or close to a window inside, where it can get some indirect sunlight throughout the day. Keep the soil moist and do not allow it to dry out between waterings. This may lead to leaf edge burn. This Calathea likes to be grown in warm temperatures above 65°F.
